I bought a computer from Sony for the only reason that at the time i could only get a new PC based on credit from Circuit City, I went with the Sony because it was the only PC there with PCI-E.

Anyway everything works relatively fine (being a Sony PC I did have problems but nothing I couldnt handle or fix.) Yesterday I restarted and blam huge issue, PC says "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media into ssony corporation". I figured it was a boot issue that could be fixed in the CMOS, i reset the CMOS manually, took the battery out everything. I even tried to reinstall windows but it says it cannot access the Hard Drive. I then checked to see if hard drive is installed correctly and it is. Sony says they will send a guy out to fix the computer but that most likely they will have to replace or reformat the Hard Drive. Normally I wouldnt care but all my music (about 2000 songs) are still on it.

So...
1. any ideas on how to fix the problem?
and
2. If not any way I can extract the music files from the Hard Drive ?
 
Is the drive SATA or IDE? If it is IDE make sure the BIOS is set to boot from it. If it is SATA and there is a BIOS option for SATA mode IDE or RAID, choose IDE.
